AI Technical Summary
Existing catalysts for the hydration of acrolein to prepare 3-hydroxypropional suffer from problems such as low conversion rate, low selectivity, low yield, difficulty in separation, and severe loss.
A novel catalyst preparation method was adopted, which involves mixing a template agent, an aluminum source, a phosphorus source, a silicon source and a metal salt solution and then heating the mixture to form an intermediate catalyst. The intermediate catalyst was then mixed with polyethylene glycol, citric acid and silica sol, dried and calcined to prepare a V-Mo-X-SPAO-34 catalyst. The catalyst was then used in a 1-4 stage series reactor for the acrolein hydration reaction.
It improves the conversion rate and selectivity of acrolein hydration to 3-hydroxypropional, simplifies the catalyst preparation process, reduces costs, and has mild reaction conditions with few byproducts, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production.
